Default Anything worth trading for?

I currently have an '07 RS4 with 39k miles. Stasis suspension and Milltek exhaust. Is there anything out there worth trading for very similar value(45k)? I would want very similar/better performance if I was going to make a switch. I have thought about a used M5 or maybe even a used CTS-V(zr1 engine), but haven't made sense of either trade yet. Does anything else come to mind, or is this just crazy to get rid of this car...because there is no doubt it is a gem. It's so rare and that's what I love about it. No one has any idea what lies under the hood! Thanks in advance, fellas.

You stated it yourself your cars a jem! Definitely I would keep it, don't get an M5 their fast but ugly, and the CTS-V is a complete joke of crap materials just a strong engine with no comfort at all. You car is amazing, keep it!

How about a C63 Benz or an M3 E90 sedan?
You lose the AWD but in TX you probably will not miss it.

Cheers

Assuming you dont "need" quattro or as much space, how about something more nimble like a Cayman "S" ?

E90 M3 and C63 are both nasty...definitely might have to consider both. I still don't know that either are superior to the RS4, however. I don't think the M3 has the looks and the Merc doesn't have the grip. Anyways, I appreciate the feedback. Any other thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Default Put this under the hood, and they'll really not know....

I posted my RS4 for sale, then changed my mind after seeing the PES S/C system. For about 16k installed(probably at least what you'd put down for a car), you'll get another 100+hp to the wheels......

Kind of like getting a brand new car, and better in my opinion......If this kit turns out to be fairly reliable, and not like most of the stage III B5s, I'm all over it. There is still not another car out there I'd take over the RS4 for under 80k.

My guess is you'd be lucky to get a dealer to give you 38k for a trade. Maybe sell it privately for 42-44k.

wow...16k installed?! That makes MTM look silly...isn't there setup 40k+?? I have seen a video on youtube of the PES s/c and it looks/sounds/performs phenominal. Do you know where they are with this package, are they close to full-blown production or are they still in fabrication and trial stages? You just got me fired up! haha, thanks.
